Hi Cowsaregreat, everyone is different in how the treatment works and what side effects you get so it is difficult to be specific .
I have had quite a lot of the treatments that have been around for sometime such as MTX, cyclosporin , acetretin etc but I have not been on skilarence . I am on Stelara now and have been for 6 years ish and it's really good with very little in the way of side effects however a lot of people have had tremendously bad side effects from MTX and even though I did have side effects I was on it for 9 years oral then injections but it did work but then slowly stopped working but by that time the side effects had really built up.
I would have a good look around on the site because there is more information on here than anywhere I know plus when you ask a question it will be answered by someone in the same boat who will give a truthful answer based on experience .
